The Bannoch's shoulder straps are densely padded and comfortable at its stated capacity, but their thinness reduces comfort with heavier loads. The Bannoch's side bottle pocket fits the reviewer's 21-ounce Hydro Flask, while anything larger may have difficulty fitting inside. The dedicated document sleeve keeps papers separate from the laptop area, although the reviewer recommends a folder or envelope to prevent creasing.
The bright orange main-compartment lining gives the reviewer excellent visibility, except when small items resemble the interior color. The Bannoch has one zippered pocket for small everyday items such as adapters, earphones, keys, and hand sanitizer.
